Your hometown and why you enjoy living there.

Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Can't say too much about it, really. It's a typical suburb that's grown way too much. We had a great opportunity a few years ago - anyone remember the New Jersey Derby horserace? - The racetrack was torn down with the promise that we'd get our own little main street, complete with shops and parks and houses and everything. Instead, we got a strip mall (some highlights being a Wegman's with the sorriest excuse for a clock tower I have ever seen, a "Christmas Shoppe" store that operates year-round, and a Home Depot that moved from literally the strip mall 100 feet down the road that was supposed to be the big thing ten years ago) and a horribly-named "Town Center Drive" that gets its own traffic light but is pretty much a transit street that goes into the parking lot. Oh, and the Fort Dix would-be terrorists from last year grew up here.

On the bright side, there is a nice little park that's a national historic landmark that's about five minutes from my house. The highlight is the woods. Not much, but there are a few trails and a little creek running through it.

I'll be going to school in DC next year. Northwest part of the city, and from what I've seen it's a nice section.

Whereabouts?

Georgetown, GW, or American, I would presume. Northwest is nice, that's where all the rich people and embassies are.

**GeneralHankerchief** · 05-13-2008, 20:02

American, yeah. From what I recall it's up past Embassy Row; closer to the Cathedral and Cheney's house.

Good school. I almost went there for both undergrad and law. I remember being impressed by their cafeteria.

Suburb north of Baltimore, Maryland.

Nothing much to say about here, just an average east coast suburb I guess

That's actually really funny you say that. Reason being is because my roommate last year went there and HATED it. He said it was so dressed up for tours it was unbelievable. He mentioned the cafeteria, which he said was closed most of the time after when he attended. He transferred after one semester.
